Rasheed Wallace is saying one more goodbye to Portland, where he played for eight years with the Trail Blazers. The star Detroit Pistons forward has placed his nearly 10,000-square-foot residence on the market for $5.2 million, making it one of the most expensive listings in the area.
Mr. Wallace, 32, purchased the brick home, which sits on more than two acres in the Dunthorpe neighborhood, in 2000 for about $3 million. The NBA all-star, who has a roughly $60 million, six-year deal with the Pistons, spent more than $1 million on improvements, including a new driveway and landscaping, according to the listing agent, Tricia Epping, with Coldwell Banker, Barbara Sue Seal Properties. Mr. Wallace and his wife, Fatima, briefly put the residence on the market last year for $5.5 million, Ms. Epping says.
Designed in 1924 by architect Ellis F. Lawrence, who also designed many campus buildings at University of Oregon in Eugene, the Tudor-style home has five bedrooms, 5½ baths and a built-in sal%%%%er fish tank, and was featured on "MTV Cribs."
